About

Thanks for visiting LauraBirek.com!

As this site not-so-subtly suggests, I am indeed a writer, knitter, and web developer. I like to think of those descriptions in that specific order: above all, I am a writer. Writing is my first passion. If I had to give up knitting and web development, I grudgingly would, but not writing. To check out my clips and learn more about me as a writer, mosey on over to my writing page.

Thankfully, I haven’t been asked to part with my yarn. Knitting is my second love—it is an obsession I discovered during my second year in college. My friends know I take knitting needles with me almost everywhere I go. On my knitting page you can see some pictures of my knitting projects and download knitting patterns.

Web development is a skill that I mysteriously acquired around the turn of the century. Web design and coding has proven a useful skill, and I’ve been working as a web developer since 2003. I’m available for freelance web development, so if you’re in the market for a new website, check out my web work section or shoot me an email.

I hope you enjoy the site! Of course, if you have any questions, suggestions, or just want to say hello, visit my contact page.
